I haven’t decided whether or not this should be included in my Containment map yet. If not it will be used as a generic hallway prefab for NS2Devs.

So, without further a do, my latest work;

———————————- INSTALL LOG ———————————-

Keys have now gone. Very sorry

I currently have two extra keys for Star Trek Online Beta to give away. The first two people to add GameVR and Grayski to their Twitter accounts, they will get the keys.

Good luck!

If you managed to miss out on TenTonHammer’s Star Trek Online Beta Key giveaway, then fear not as NowGamer currently have some more available!

And to be quite honest, it’s pretty simple stuff to get your hands on one. All you need to do is follow a couple of people on twitter and do as they ask (Nothing too kinky don’t worry).

After that you will receive your Free Star Trek Online Beta Key within 3 – 4 minutes.

Good luck and leave a comment if you managed to get one.

I’m still currently downloading the installer, coming in at a whopping 7.7GB, my speed has now dropped to a shoddy 532.4 kB/s and im only at 4.4GB. Guess this is going to be an over nighter. Never mind, guess I will just have to do some quality control during the day tomorrow.

Also means I can’t do much with my connection for the evening, oh the joy of living in the middle of nowhere and having crap connections.

In other news, I have managed to get a little bit of work done on Containment. I have been working on the Storage Room today, which is nowhere near complete worryingly, considering the amount of time that has gone in to it!

As you can see, it still needs quite a few props added, the fan in the ceiling isn’t yet lighted correctly, some of the Storage Crates are also going to be doubled up in size to create a more creepy atmosphere. The floor needs some proper grating added rather than just the texture, and a load of Cable and pipe work are going to be added to the ceiling.

So there it is as it stands so far!

As Promised, I have added 5 new pictures for the Containment map. Those of you have been following the development should be able to tell where the screenshots are from. Those of you who have not been following development SHAME ON YOU. Start following now

For those of you who are too lazy to go to the gallery and have a look, here are the new screenshots for the evening;

As you can see, there have been some considerable changes in some places.

Number 2 on the Agenda is the hilarious sign attached to Sainsbury’s bread shelves.

“Due to adverse weather conditions, there is an industry shortage of sliced bread. Our bakery is supplying fresh bread and our staff would be happy to help.”

I’m guessing bread slicers don’t work during snowy times…
Well I think that is it for the day, I’m off for some dinner and Lost

This is going to be a place for me to document my progression with my mapping using Spark, my graphics editing and my personal projects. Of which there are numerous going on at the moment.

First up,

A link to the Containment Gallery where you can view the pictures of it as it progresses from plain old BSP to Fully Textured, with props and lighting.
